Kevin Durant On Calls For Fouls: "Keep That Shit On Twitter"
The Warriors beat the Cavs thanks in large part to a string of late no-calls on what could and should have been fouls on Kevin Durant, guarding LeBron James in the waning possessions of Golden State’s 99-92 win.

DeAndre Hopkins Makes A Catch To Remember
It’s mostly been a forgettable night for the Texans, but DeAndre Hopkins added some sparkle to the festivities with an incredible circus catch that held up after the mandatory video review.

A 31-point, 18-rebound game from Kevin Love went to waste as the Warriors beat Cleveland 99-92 thanks in part to officials refusing to call a foul on Kevin Durant as the Golden State star manhandled LeBron James in the final minute of the game....

The SEC Network Yule Log Is Our Nation's Greatest Contribution To Avant-Garde Cinema
My family only has a few Christmas traditions, among them cinnamon rolls, trips to the dog park, bike rides, and yard work.

The Upstart Sixers Are Having A Bad Time
The Sixers were a trendy pick to make a run at the top half of the Eastern Conference playoff field this season, to such a degree that Sixers fans and Sam Hinkie loyalists were doing preseason touchdown dances about signs of arrival as abstract as the drafting of Markelle Fultz and the extension of ...

Myles Turner Is A Big Bad Man
The Pacers are a lot of fun. Six of their rotation guys average at least 11 points per game, and their offensive rating has climbed to sixth in the NBA.

Delightful Goof Austin Rivers Went Off Last Night, Baby!
